+2. Add upload endpoint and upload form
+3. Add upload audit logging
+4. Add zip export flow
+5. Add searchable file listing
+6. Add media processing jobs
 
 ## Notes
 Original uploaded files should remain preserved and effectively read-only.
 Any user-facing edits or processing outputs should create derivative files.
 Admin access should require owner-issued one-time support authorization.
-This version cleans up the temporary UI while keeping the same signed handoff endpoint for OTB Billing integration.
+New tenants no longer receive default devices automatically; devices are now user-created.
